"We believe that (Kelley) is possibly the father of her children," Lt. Mark Pruess of Sharonville police said. The children were not at the hotel, police said. Police confirmed that connection Saturday.

A 20-year-old man, Erick Davis, was shot in the back in a rear parking lot of a UPS distribution center on Canal Road, which backs up to the motel's lot, police said. He suffered minor injuries.

Both victims were taken to Bethesda North Hospital. Police have charged Kelley with two counts of attempted murder despite the fact that he is still on the run.

"Our female victim was staying at the hotel, and our second victim has a connection to the female, but we're not exactly sure whether they were together or he was just visiting," said Pruess.

Officers said Kelley may be driving a 1989 red Chevy half-ton pickup truck with the Ohio license plate No. FTC 9103, and he may be armed with a revolver.

Police said they might have found the pickup shortly before 2 p.m. parked at Mt. Airy Forest. They said the license plates had been removed and no one was inside.

Police said Kelley posed no specific threat to the public. He has been charged with two counts of attempted murder.

Police are concerned that Kelley, who has family in Georgia, could leave the area.
